On Laying the Foundation of a Successful Strategy
Throughout all of our efforts to lift a company to new levels of success, one thing comes back repeatedly:
👉 Clarity is Kind.
It's easy to think this means towards others, but it starts with yourself.
It starts with the honesty and transparency you need to have within yourself and fellow leaders to set the stage for why are you doing what you are doing.
Once you are clear on why you want what you say you want, the work begins on how to get it done.
Communicating that message out is the next step of this work.
Very often there is ambiguity and assumption in play.
🎯 Here are 3 safe assumptions you can make to begin:
1. Assume everyone is unclear
2. Assume you haven't done a great job providing clarity.
3. Assume your teams aren't working together as well as they could and collaboration is not at the level you desire.
⭐Take the mixed messages you've been sending and clean them up.
⭐Get to the root cause of all unclear direction.
⭐Own it when it was your responsibility and guide others when it's on them.
You will benefit greatly personally and professionally once you start thinking ahead and planning your communications and conversations accordingly.
For those interested in reading or listening in on this topic there are 2 books I can recommend today.
